Addington Race 8

PROTOCOL BAR & RESTAURANT STAKES FINAL

Prize Money: $4,091

BUSY WORK (5) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Devil Delia (31.50) in a Class 1. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Top chance in this line up. BEAM (1) has been in super consistent form recently with three minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (31.85) at this track. Not the quickest away but does power up mid-race. Cannot be taken lightly. CRAFTY KEEPER (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (26.70) at Ascot Park and may be close to breaking through. Must be included in calculations. DECENT (4) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. One to add into exotic bets behind the top picks.

Missed the frame latest (31.85) when sixth over 525m at this track in a Class 1. Starts from box 1 for the first time here. Worth another chance.

Comments

Last start finished 2nd on February 18 over 457m at Ascot Park behind Princely Silver beaten 4 lengths (26.70) in a Class 1/2. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow her up.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.59) over 525m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 525m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (31.50) behind Devil Delia in a Class 1 on February 16. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Has the ability to take this out.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 4 lengths behind Devil Delia over 525m. Look for improvement. Is a danger.
